Yeah, I feel extremely disrespected now after having 24 hrs to think about what they did. I've said what I needed to say to one of the parties involved. Seeing as how he's such a disgusting person, I doubt my words had any effect on him. I've already thanked Sarah for taking care of this so well, but I want to make a public thank you to her and all the other mods who took steps to protect me and everyone else those assholes decided to bother. Love you guys!

And even if we bring back the panty thread, I will no longer be contributing. At least for the time being... Besides, I think it being down for awhile will be good for the thread anyways. It kept dying a week or so after a picture would be posted. Having it be gone will get everyone anxious for its return, and then we'll have a big panty picture party in the thread once it's back.

I would like to second this. Thank you, you guys. For informing me and for doing everything in your power to stop it and make sure it won't happen again anytime soon.

I still don't understand it, though. I never did anything to either of them. I don't even post that much anymore!

It's not so much attacking individuals. It's just to cause some sort of drama so that everything within int he series isn't all peaceful and happy. If they can't be IN making people mad, they're going to do it outside the series.

I don't believe the panty thread or a panty thread will be making a return here. Privacy and protection of members is far more important.

We will try and work to make the community more private while not disconnecting people with good intentions.

As you can all see - it's just less than a handful of bad seeds. To think these people could be future employers or the future of this world is very disturbing. But I believe in some form of karma. They'll reap what they sow. And if they wish to break branches to get to something then they will not have much of a future.

I'd like to apologise to everyone. You don't need to accept it and if you'd like to vent then you may do so to me.

In the meantime, if anyone comes across images/details regarding members of this site on any other site (whether time related or not) then please let me know. I'd like to look into the extent of it and see how best to prevent it happening again and monitor any side flare-ups.

Also: Please beware the wolf in sheep's clothing. If you suspect or know of account sharing then please let me know. It is important never to share your login information for any site with people you don't truly know.

ix, we know that you and the other mods care about everyone on this board, and that you guys want to do everything you can to fix this and prevent future happenings. I don't think any of us that were affected are mad at you and wouldn't accept your apology. It's not really your fault. If anything, it's our fault for putting up half-naked pictures of ourselves, and forgetting that - although this is a great and close knit community - it's still the internet and not entirely safe from things like this.

I'm pretty sure I wasn't around here when this happened, but I still feel the need to say how disgusting and utterly disrespectful what happened is. I feel sorry for whoever was on the recieving end of the horrible immaturity displayed by a few people this community is infinitely better off without

Oh man, it makes me so angry that someone could have such little regard for anothers privacy

Yeah.. Shame on the Admins for having mercy and actually not wanting to be total dicks and believing people's lies about shaping up.

Ridiculous.

I think the Admins are doing the best they can with what they are given to work with. They have given people chances upon chances and those people continue to show their qualities... Which just proves the Admins were justified in the first place.

What's the point? Why fuck with people about the decision they made about your actions, when your actions just prove they had the right decision??

You aren't proving anything.

Wouldn't you want to prove that you were right instead of them, if you are really that mad and feel unjustly sentenced?

BTW I have no idea who did this nor do I care, because I know that I am friends with on this board wouldn't have the heart to do something as low as this. I just want to understand the motive. Everyone who I have ever heard of being banned from here has always been adamant about how unjust the Admins and mods are. But I have been here for 3 years and followed the set guidelines for this board and never had an issue.
